Seguin also assisted on Valeri Nichuskin's fourth goal of the season just :22 later, as the Stars piled up three goals against the Flyers in a span of just 1:02, chasing Philly goalie Steve Mason.

It was the second hat trick of the season for the 21-year-old Seguin, who scored four times against Calgary on Nov. 14, but hadn't scored in six games while also missing a pair with concussion-like symptoms. He now has a 15-12-27 line in 26 games on the season, with three game-winners and a pretty outrageous 18.5 shooting percentage.

The boom-or-bust season is echoed by the rest of the Stars, who sit at 14-9-5, in fifth place in the seven-team Central Division, and are mired in 10th in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. The team is hopeful that Seguin, the former No. 2 overall pick in 2010 acquired in a blockbuster offseason trade with Boston, can find consistency in Dallas and showcase the talent and touch that made him a mouth-watering prospect in juniors and a star during the Bruins' march to the Stanley Cup in 2011. He's a co-focal point of a young, talented roster alongside 24-year-old winger Jamie Benn, 23-year-old forward Alex Chiasson, 23-year-old defenseman Brenden Dillon, and 10th overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, 18-year-old Valeri Nichushkin, who is finding his groove after a slow start.

As Mason found out in a one-minute span in the second period of the Stars' 5-1 win on Saturday, Dallas is still developing their chemistry, and that's a scary thing for the rest of the NHL.
